This Little Piggy

This little piggy was all
jacked up and had to have surgery which leaves me in the Frankenboot for 4
lousy weeks and now I’m mad at the world.

This little piggy cried wah
wah wah all the way home.

One of these things is not like the other . . . Actually, several things are broken but we'll start with the toes.

Day one I was already bored.
Day three and I’m gouging my eyes out with a dull spork. I know it could be
worse and I know there are people with much bigger woes out there than me (especially
in CT), so I’m dishing out a big helping of Suck It Up and use this time to
reflect on the change I wish to become:

#1 – Let go of the stupid
left rein. Period.

Just one more pull is not going to fix anything.

#2 – More seat, more seat,
more seat. Less hand, less hand, less hand.

#3 – Patience, grasshopper.
Change takes time.

The lotus must start from the seed and take the sun
and moon each in turn while looking to the sky for delicate drops of nature’s
tears . . .

blah blah blah

#4 – Oh yeah, stop looking at
anything larger than 3’7” like its only purpose in life is to squash me like a
gnat. Seriously, that’s, like, a warm-up fence for the jumper people and most horses
can do it from a trot.

Is it 4 weeks yet?

Well, here's a little entertainment to help everyone pass the time. Good stuff (If the embedded video gives an error just press the hyperlink, it's worth it):
